[Office Escapades 02] • One Little Lie

*Jerk. Bastard. Thief.*

**LIAR**

My mama always told me never to trust a liar.

They will steal their way into your heart and then run away like a thief in the night.

*So why didn't I listen?*

Patrick was *that* guy.

He was the guy she always warned me about and I didn't listen.

And guess what?

He did exactly what she said he'd do.

He made me believe we'd be together and then he changed his mind.

*Foolish. Gullible. Naive.*

**COWARD**

Yes, I admit it. I ran away instead of facing things head on.

After I threatened to stab him with a fork.

*Why should I be ashamed?*

I left years ago to take a teaching job in Los Angeles before things got worse

But things are getting worse here too.

The school I work for wants to do a complete overhaul

Not the good kind.

I need to stop them from making a terrible mistake.

They hired a man to help them make it all happen.

Guess who's standing in my way?

Patrick, the **LIAR.**
